Sifu Aluminum Handle, y not?

[Centurian]

It is great news that the Savants are out. (make note to self, BUY ONE)However, since the SIFU is about the best production knife even made why not make an aluminum handled version? Then they could make them in colors (still waiting to hear back from a knife smith about making one of mine Blue g-10) and I would think that it might lighten the knife up. What you all think??????

I'd love it, but I think it would be hard on REKAT. There are allready so many variants that have been made. Regular, black blade, red handles, BF special, etc. I would rather have a new knife (pygmi warrior!) than another sifu variant. Rekat is allready making more sifus than anything else, and demand for the current version isn't going to run out anytime soon. I too, would love to see an AL version at some point.

hi - yes i would like a aluminum or Ti version - i dont know how much it would lighten it up, and dont think its TOO heavy now, but do think it would look cool - maybe Ti handles/frame drilling would lighten it up 'ala crawford kasper Ti, but i am not sure how good that would look - would have to see it first - i too think REKAT needs to concentrate on some new stuff, radically different than the previous, to keep from losing out on the market, imho, but i like 'em and hope all goes well whatever direction they go in, i wonder about them sometimes, no attention to forum etc - i have sold thru my buds about 5 sifus who before they saw mine had no clue what REKAT was ....

I wouldn't mind having a Sifu with aluminum scales either (perhaps with "rubber" inserts), but what I'd REALLY like to own is a DA (or "automatic") Sifu!..

Actually, I'd be happy just to see Bob and/or Christina return here to the REKAT forums before it ends-up gone, like the (short-lived) Cold Steel Forum that we had here awhile back did....

I think the Sifu is perfect as is. I'd like to see REKAT come out with D2E in the Carnivours, Cubs, & Savants, and I'd like to see some new models.
